I really wish I could find my post on here where I said Belichick might covet Collins so he could have another LT to work with. Pretty sure it was in one of the irrelevant threads, but I can't find it.

Coach Bill Belichick traveled down to Hattiesburg to work out Collins earlier this winter and the two watched film together. Collins said the visit went positively and that he felt comfortable communicating with the Patriots' coach.

I'm starting to think Jamie Collins might be our first pick. Either via a trade back to the early 2nd or even at 29 at this point, I really like what I see there.

I would not complain at all. Go for the physical freaks in this draft and try to hit a home run, because there aren't many singles and doubles to be had.

Yeah really seems like a year to stockpile picks for next year, we'll see. But its tough because this defense still needs an infusion of talent and depth that really hasn't come via FA to this point.

Well, they still need to sign a veteran pass rusher in my estimation, but Collins could be an LT clone for Belichick to mold. That could push the defense forward in huge ways, especially if he took over as a starter outside if and when (emphasis on the when) Spikes departs. They need another DT, a couple receivers and a secondary player too, but I don't think that's all coming in the draft, and I'd rather see them focus on value later on. Barrett Jones will likely be available in the mid-rounds due to his injury situation, and I'd love a flier taken on Glenn Foster out of Illinois.
